After we were treated to a meal, Marianne asked me to cast a healing spell on Beatrice again.

The Choo-bad old man's parent idiot argued forcefully against it, but on the condition that it was from his back, he finally agreed to it.

"Kent, listen, forget everything about this morning's healing and this time, as soon as you finish healing this time, forget about it.....okay?

Yeah, I understand.

Hmmm, of course I have no intention of forgetting about it.

I mean, when I remember the situation this morning, it's terribly awkward to face Beatrice.

''It's okay, I've also told you how awesome the treatment you gave me was, as well as the rock auger incident the other day.

That's what Marianne-san would say, but I'm sure she would have recognized me as just a perverted bastard at that moment, and the fact that I was touching her...it's still awkward, isn't it?

And while I was thinking that, I've already come to the front of the room.

''Reece I'm coming in.

Yes, go ahead...

When Marianne knocked on the door and called out to her, she sounded surprisingly cheerful.

Beatrice raised herself up in bed and read a book.

'Reece, let's have you cast the healing spell again, just to be sure, come on, Kent-san, please.

Oh, yes....

Oh....

When I entered the room after Marianne-san, Beatrice saw me, and when she saw me, she let out a small cry and hid under the covers.

Yes, it's like a baby rabbit escaping into a nest.

But she is quietly peeking at me from inside the futon, and it's bad, she's so cute.

''Woo........but it's all right now.......''

'Don't say that, get them to treat you. Shouldn't you be able to go to school at the beginning of the week?

Uhhhh... okay...

Beatrice, who came out of the futon she was wearing with an appearance of reluctance, is blushing as much as her hair color and glares at me with tears in her eyes while her mouth is agape.

Huh, can't I take it back to the lodge? Of course you can't do that, because your dumb old man won't shut up about it.

"Well, just start from the back this time, it'll be fine.

What ... really?

'I was in bad shape when I was treated this morning, so I had no choice.

Okay, you knew you had to be embarrassed again.

I had Beatrice lie face down on the bed, massaging her back and letting the healing magic flow through her.

This morning, I can feel the healing magic from my hands coursing through Beatrice's body, which is a far cry from when I started treating her.

At first Beatrice was tense and stiff at first, but as soon as I began to flow the healing magic, she seemed to relax, and by the time I finished the treatment, she was breathing in her sleep.

''I think I've fallen asleep...''

Thank you very much...

I gently draped the covers over Beatrice so as not to wake her up, and then left the room with Marianne.

'I don't have much experience with therapy, so I can't say for sure, but I don't think it's a problem anymore.

''Thank you so much. I need to make Reece himself thank you as well...''

No, it's just that I don't want to wake you up...

Even though my physical condition has improved, I guess I haven't fully regained my strength after being in bed for so long.

Or rather, it's time for me to go home and rest as well.

I decided to have the reward for the nomination request transferred to the guild's account and left Klaus-san's mansion.

Outside the mansion, the city of Volzard in the late afternoon was full of activity.

Normally, I would leave while strolling through the city, but today I feel mentally and physically exhausted and don't feel like entering the crowd.

I thought about going home in the shadow movement, but there are so many people, it seems difficult to hide in the shadows without being seen.

So, I decided to go through the back street which entered one street from the main street.

Even though it is a back street, there are shops, and people come and go, but still not as crowded as the main street.

Besides, if you go straight down this street, you should be in front of Amanda's shop.

A little dazed, I walked dazedly down the back street, and I could smell the Chinese medicine.

I looked in the direction of the not-so-impressive smell from yesterday afternoon and saw what appeared to be a small, well-positioned apothecary shop.

Come to think of it, I don't know anything about the medicine situation in this world.

It seems that medicines can't cure rotting diseases and the like, but they were powerful, like sleeping pills and the like, and I wonder if there are medicines or so-called potions for other diseases.

I'm just going to go home and rest today anyway, so let's take a look at it.

''Hello........''

Welcome to the house, Kent?

Yes Mr. Muel?

I opened the door of the shop and to my surprise, it was Mr. Muell who was inside.

I was surprised, but I quickly tightened my expression and gave Muel-san a jittery look.

''I haven't forgotten that you gave me a sleeping potion, you know.

''Ugh........sorry......I made a little mistake, teh....

Godd*mn it! I forgive you, I have to forgive you! Teppo foul!

'I didn't wake up until before dawn already, because it's so maddeningly bitter and austere...'

'Sorry, sorry, so what did Kent come to buy?'

No, I'm not here to buy, I don't know anything about medicine in this world, so I'm just wondering what it's like...

I see, Kent was summoned from another world.

Yes, so there's a lot I don't know.

Mmm-hmm. Well, in that case, your sister can tell you what to do.

This shop is owned by Muel's mentor, and he's out at a friend's house today.

By the way, I heard that normally there is an inukoro hanging around, but the new and old duo missed him so much that they chased him away because they thought three big guys would be in the way.

Yeah, Shinda and Furuta, good job.

I heard that Muell-san is a shop keeper, but customers don't come often, so I decided to ask him to teach me about medicine in this world.

Instead, I'll tell you a general story about medicine in Japan.

Dr. Muel was surprised when I told him that medicine is made in large factories, and that it has become a huge industry, with huge amounts of money and manpower being collected from all over the world to develop new medicines, as well as the technology of anesthesia and surgery.

'It's kind of so amazing, I can't even imagine it at all,'

I can tell you what it's like, but I don't know anything about technicalities.

Is our world going to be like that eventually?

'Hmmm... I think our world has advanced in science and technology because we didn't have magic, so I don't think it's going to be exactly the same, but it might be similar eventually.'

Well I see...............................

The medicine situation in this world, which Muell-san told me about, was still similar to Chinese medicine.

However, when making a potion, they use water that has been given a healing effect by water attribute magic, or use herbs that are tinged with magical powers, and so on, and so on, it seems that magic is still involved.

'Yeah........are those things really meant to be cut and used?'

Uh, yeah ... actually ...

How much of that sleeping pill do you really use?

'What? Let's see ... like ... cut it into four pieces ... cut it into four pieces and use it?

"Yeah........did they give you 16 times the amount you would normally drink?

Teher...

Godd*mn it! You can't get angry, you can't get angry.....

The pills that were taken yesterday were the size for transport and they are sometimes used to put demons to sleep.

To take it normally, they would cut it into pieces and divide it, or use pills made into sixteenth or eighth parts.

Even if the pills are divided into sixteenths of a pill, they don't wake up until morning.

However, it's too bitter and astringent, so it's difficult to abuse it.

''Hmm... well, it was definitely powerful, but it was definitely bitter...''

What? You're not thinking of giving Manon a drink and doing something naughty, are you?

And no, no, I don't think so.

I wonder if it's true........Kent is a boy........

No, I was just wondering if I could use it to rescue my classmates.

'Oh well, umm but if they give you a drink, you'll notice it right away, and the amount you take without realizing it won't be very effective.'

Of course....

I thought that if I could put the Riesenburg knight to sleep when rescuing my classmates, the mission would go smoothly, but it doesn't seem to be going well.

Nevertheless, I thought there might be some use for it, so I decided to buy ten one-eighth size sleeping pills, and ten one-eighth size pills that were actually supposed to be drunk yesterday to help recover magic power.

The case with a red mark on it is the sleeping potion and the case with a blue mark on it is the magic recovery potion, so don't make a mistake.

'Yes, I'll be careful not to make a mistake like someone else.

Mmmm ... you're not supposed to say nasty things like that, meh!

Hi, I'll be careful.

Well, since Muel-san has done so much for me, let's leave before the doggy comes home.

Since I was able to talk with Muelle-san a lot, I feel my fatigue has gone away.

Yes, Muel-san's smile is a great remedy for fatigue.

Back at the boarding house, Amanda-san is in the middle of preparing for the night, and Meline-san is also busy helping out.

Meisa is..........in the middle of staring at her notebook.

''I'm back.

Oh, Kent, you're back, and are you done with Mr. Claus?

Yes, it's all good.

Apparently, Mr. Donovan has contacted me.

'Okay, okay, well, sorry then, but can you take a look at Meisa's studies for a moment?'

All right. I'll take care of it.

'Ugh ... for Kent, for Kent, for Kent ...'

Come on, Meisa, by the looks of it, you've got arithmetic homework to do.

'Ugh you're so cocky for a Kent...'

''Hmph, I'll let you say those words after you solve the problem...''

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I decided to watch Meisa's homework until the evening office hours, and then I decided to stay in my room until dinner time to relax.

Before returning to my room, I took a magical restorative, which certainly seemed to help, and I could see the malaise that had been nestled in the back of my body fading away.

I thought that pharmaceutical technology is inferior to that of Japan, but when it comes to the effectiveness of medicine, I feel that our world is superior.

Or is it that Muel-san's master is particularly good at this?

''Master Kent, how will you use that sleeping pill?''

"Yes, I'm wondering if we can use it in a rescue mission...

The last time we rescued Yagi and the other five, the orcs showed up at the right time, and the knights escaped because they didn't intend to protect them from the start, but if it was like we were fighting together, it would have been difficult to bring back just the five of us.

In the actual battle ahead, their classmates would naturally be considered as a force that had to be retained, so the knights wouldn't abandon them easily.

In that case, the question is how to bring back only the classmates.

''If we can successfully put only the knights to sleep........''

I see, but it's quite bitter and difficult to drink without being noticed.

''That's right........I guess we'll just have to let Reinhardt and the others kick it to the curb after all......''

When you think about the negotiations to return to Japan later on, you want to avoid killing the knights so easily, so it's most convenient to have them run away like they did last time.

''Kent-sama, in that case, would you like me and Basten to show you a fancy mock battle?''

"What? What do you mean...?

"If we cut down the trees in the forest, the knights may fear for their lives and retreat.

''I see... but wouldn't that make our classmates run away too?

''Yes, but if you're coming to the forest as you did last time, won't the knights be riding horses and the schoolmates on foot?''

''Oh....I see...''

Certainly, if Reinhardt and Basten go on a rampage, ordinary knights wouldn't be able to counter them, and if they prioritize their own safety, there's a high chance they'll run away.

The only way to prevent them from realizing that we are working to rescue them is to let us reap the benefits of your schoolmates to the extent that they don't die, if the knights still won't run away.

Yeah, well........the scenario is that while Reinhardt and the others were fighting, they encountered the people who came to the actual battle, and the battle was headed in their direction.......

In any case, until the next actual battle takes place, there's nothing we can do about it at present.

''Even if it's impossible to heap it on all the knights, can't we make Camilla drink it and do something to damage her...''

I wish I could, but it's a bitterness problem anyway.

That's right...

Whether it's food or drink, it's not hard to mix the medicine with shadow transfer.

But if they can't taste it, they won't be able to make her drink the amount she needs.

"Master Kent, if you were able to put Camilla to sleep, what do you intend to do?

''Hmmm........that's another problem.......if we do something poorly, there's a chance that someone is trying to harm us and they might find out about us.''

Would you like me to lock you up while you sleep?

"Yes....No, no, no, you won't be able to go back to Japan if you antagonize them or commit suicide by doing that.

"With qualities such as Master Kent's, it should not be difficult to bring Camilla to her knees.

'No, no, I can't, I mean, I'm all talk, and I'm more mature and... oh...'

Suddenly, I had a better idea.

"Would you like to see me, Master Kent?

"Mmmmmm... maybe I've got a good idea... yeah, this is it...

What's the ruse?

"Yeah, that's just because when I think of a way to put Camilla to sleep don't tell anyone yet.

"Ho-ho, this is going to be fun.

Yeah, it'll be fun...

As I was talking to Reinhardt, I heard the sound of him running up the stairs.

'Kent! Dinner!

'Thank you, Meisa what's wrong?'

Maisa looks at me suspiciously as she leaves the door to my room open.

'Kent, the room is dark again...'

'Oh I can use dark magic, so I can see in the dark, so it's okay.

I've already told you that I can do magic, so there's no need to hide it.

''Yeah! Oh no, really?

Yeah, really.

What ... but isn't it really dark when you close here?

'Maybe so, but it looks normal,'

I doubt it...

As she said this, Maysa came into the room and shut the door snugly.

'I'll trust you if you can catch me straight after the count of ten.

Okay, then I'll count, one, two, three....

As you begin to slowly count, Meisa gets down on all fours and crawls to the back of the room.

I can clearly see her, but it seems that Meisa-chan can hardly see, and she's groping her way forward fearfully.

'.........eight, nine, ten, come on, I'm going to grab you.

'Lies... oh, you said that and made me speak out so you could find out where I was!

No, he can really see you.

No, I don't believe it!

As she stood up, Maysa almost caught her foot on a chair as she tried to get to the door and almost fell down.

'Wow, look out, Maysa, you can't see me, can you?'

Oh, my God, I can see it, I can see it...

I mean, that's what I've been saying all along...

Meisa rolls her eyes in surprise as she catches it in her arms in a hurry.

'Maysa! Kent! What are you doing, you better get down here or I won't feed you!

Come on, let's go, Meisa.

When I open the door for her, Meisa is squinting her eyes dazzlingly.

''Mmm........you're cheeky for a Kent.......''

Hahaha, you look like this, you're pretty good at it, and you can solve arithmetic problems too.

'Kiwi........cheeky, cheeky, Kent, Kent, Kent.......'

You guys, I'm really gonna skip the food!

'Yes, I'm coming, let's go...'

Hmmm...

Meisa ran down the stairs with a look of amusement on her face.

'Mom! Kent's in a dark room, plotting evil!

Hey! What are you talking about, Meisa!

I ran down the stairs after Meisa in a hurry.

'Kent can skip the rice, right?'

'Hey! If you talk like that, I'm going to have to make up my own arithmetic exercises!

No.........I hate arithmetic!

You guys! That's enough!

Yes!

Because of Meisa, Amanda lectured me and Meline laughed at me.

She's a really caring little girl, I'll give her a break after about 50 arithmetic problems.
